Jaime Jorge Zapata (May 7, 1978 – February 15, 2011) was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent who was ambushed and murdered by the Mexican criminal group Los Zetas in San Luis PotosÃ, Mexico.
He was one of the two agents that were ambushed in a part of the country that is increasingly under the influence of drug violence.
Zapata's death is the second highest-profile killing of a U.S.
agent in Mexico—the first one was Enrique Camarena, an undercover DEA agent who was tortured and murdered by the former Guadalajara Cartel.
